Installation Instructions
Installing a Multiple Dish DishPro System
Note
: You cannot use DishPro LNBFs and switches (those marked with the
DishPro logo) with Legacy (non-DishPro) switches and LNBFs (those without
the DishPro logo). You must install your DISH antenna system with either all
DishPro LNBFs and switches or all Legacy LNBFs and switches. If you mix the
two, the system will not work.
Note
: You can have as much as 200 feet of cable between the DishPro LNBF
and the DishPro receiver. However, you must use only RG-6 coaxial cables
rated for 950 to 2150 MHz. Some cables may say "Swept tested for 2150 MHz."
If you have any doubt about this, ask your DISH retailer, or look on the
container the cable came in. Do not use cable company TV cables or cables
from other satellite TV systems not rated for 950-2150 MHz. These other cables
may cause signal loss. Do not use existing cables such as RG-59. Also, be sure
that any outdoor connections are made using waterproof F-connectors.
Once you have installed the DISH 500 with its DishPro Twin LNBF using the
preceding instructions, you can install a DISH 300 with a DishPro LNBF as
follows:
